Join us for a weekend celebrating everything Concert Band! Across three inspiring days of performances, rehearsals, and sectionals, musicians of all abilities will have the opportunity to learn and perform alongside the professional players of the Australian Army Band Kapooka and the Riverina Conservatorium of Music.

All concert band musicians are welcome, with three graded ensembles designed to suit a range of playing levels. In 2026, we are delighted to welcome special guest conductors and educators Lieutenant Colonel Rachel Beeton, Senior Officer of the Australian Army Band, and Major Nicolas Buff of the Australian Army Band Kapooka.
